As a self-employed, self-motivated, invariably self-edited author, I’ve honed talents and acquired the techniques, organization, rigor, and discipline that are essential to the role of a freelancer in the digital era. I have years of experience managing tight deadlines and juggling various projects, as well as quickly researching different fields and picking up new areas of expertise. Over the years, I've authored books (non-fiction, travel guides), articles for print and digital newspapers and magazines, blogs, and contributed text to websites and apps. Past and current clients include The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, The Globe and Mail, National Geographic, and Google. My background in literature, combined with a long and varied career as a professional writer and sometimes editor and translator, has instilled in me a love of words as well as a great attentiveness to detail in terms of grammar, phrasing, nuance and meaning.
